My Modern Life

Chapter 28 - Wedding planning

Leah's POV

I wake up again to the all to familiar nauseous feeling I have been experiencing lately and I run to the bathroom to empty my stomach of last nights dinner. I feel Luke pull back my hair as he gently rubs circles on my back.

I move away from the toilet and lean back against the wall. I'm two and a half months pregnant and the morning sickness has been hectic. We still haven't told anyone about the baby besides Haley obviously and from what I know she hasn't told anyone. We were planning on telling them in Hawaii just before our wedding that way both mine and Luke's family would be there. My family went back just two days ago which got me very emotional.

I smile weakly up at Luke. "Thank you Babe. Go back to bed it's still early." I say before going to brush my teeth. He smirks and places a kiss on my head. "Oh please waking up early is nothing if I can do anything to help you care for our little bean." He says using the nickname we gave our son or daughter as he wraps his arms around my slightly expanded waist.

I roll my eyes and kiss his cheek after I finish brushing my cheek. "I love you," I say with a smile as I look up at him. "I love you too," he says as he places a kiss on my cheek. "I need to shower for work. Care to join me?" I say with a smirk while moving out of his arms. "Of course," he says as he lifts me into his arms and I wrap my legs around his waist. He carries me into the shower and kisses my small belly before placing me down.

After work I climb into my car and my phone rings I pick it up to see a photo of hazel and I by the caller ID.

"Hey girl, what's up?" I ask as I put the phone to my ear.

"Hey Leah I was wondering if you wanted to come down to the studio I just finished the dress and now we just need to see if you like it and do some fittings."

"Oh Hazel that's amazing, I'll be right over."

"Yeah sure see ya."

"Bye girl."

I drive over to Hazels design studio and walk inside to be greeted by her receptionist.

"Oh hey Leah Hazel is in her office," she says as I walk in. I have been coming here often with hazel so I pretty much know everyone.

"Thanks Jess," I say as I walk through to the elevator. Hazels office is at the top of the 20 story high skyscraper. She is really important in the design company. I ride all the way to her office. It is beautiful and is surrounded by glass so you can see the whole city.

"Hey Leah," Hazel says as she hops up from behind her desk and pulls me into a hug. "Hey Hazel. How are you?" I ask as she pulls away. "I'm good. You wanna see the designs?"
"Hell Yeah," I reply happily as we walk over to her design station.

When I see the design I gasp and immediately know it is perfect. I run my hand over the fabric samples and and clutch my stomach as I see the beautiful lace. The dress itself has a lace pattern top half with lace straps. The lace flow down until just before my waist where it slightly poofs out, but not to much which causes it to conceal the slight baby bump I will have at the time of the wedding, the lace is layered at the bottom and flows to the floor.

"Hazel it's ... beautiful," I say at a loss for words.
"I knew you would like it, you are going to make the most beautiful bride," she says as she claps her hands together. "Now all I have to do is some measurements and I will make sure the dress is done a week from now so that we have another week to make any alterations before the wedding," she adds as takes my hands in hers. I try to contain my tears but feel them slip out.

"Thank you so much hazel," I say as I pull her into a hug. "Ah, Leah don't cry you will make me cry. I told you it is a pleasure to design your dress," she says as she hugs me tighter.

Once we both regain our composure she takes the necessary measurements before I have to go and meet Luke at our  coffee shop to discuss some things with our wedding planner.

I arrive first and sit at our normal table. I order a coffee and wait for Luke who arrives shortly after I do.

"Hey babe," I say as I pull him into a kiss. "Hey baby, How was work?"he asks as he sits down next to me in the booth. "It was good," I reply with a smile before going to take a sip of my coffee but Luke quickly whisks out of my hands and takes a sip of it. I shoot him a look.

"What? You're pregnant. You are not supposed to be drinking it anyway," he says holding up his hands in mock defense. I roll my eyes and nudge him slightly. "I was working all day, please?" I say giving him the puppy dog eyes. "Fine, but I need to learn to resist that look before little bean is born," he says with a laugh as I grab the coffee out of his hands and take a sip.

Just then our wedding planner, Effie, walks over to our table. "Hello you two," She says as she sits opposite us. "Hello," we both greet.

"Now we have a lot to discuss before the wedding in three weeks, firstly we know your colors are navy and white. What shall we do for food I know you mentioned sushi before," she says. Luke looks at me, mentally asking if we should tell her. I nod slightly and squeeze his hand.

"Um well Effie we can't have any food that will harm the baby so I'm afraid sushi won't do," I say with a smile and Luke wraps his hand around my waist.

"Wow! Leah, Your pregnant? That's amazing," she says as she pulls me into a hug. "Thank you Effie," I say with a smile. "Well then I we have some food changes to make. Maybe a traditional Hawaiian meal?" She asks. "That sounds great," Luke says. I nod in reply. "Your dress and suit?" She asks. "Well my friend is designing my dress and Luke is going with his dad to pick out a suit," I say in reply. "Perfect, now the wedding will take place on the beach at sunset..." we carry on talking for about three more hour before we head home.

We are greeted by a very excited Indy ,who has grown so much since I got him a few months ago, at our door. "Hey boy," I say as I pat his head. That night Luke and I just watch movies until we fall asleep in each other's arms. I could never ask for a more perfect reality. Getting married to the love of my life, having my dream job, a beautiful apartment and family. Everything in my modern life just seems perfect.
